Is it momentum or energy that enables an object to do work?

Energy

To increase the momentum of an object, should you exert a large force, or extend that force for as long a time as possible--or both? Explain.

Exert a large force over the longest time because momentum is proportional to both force and time.

True or false: In order for an object to produce a sonic boom, it must be "noisy." Give two examples to support your answer.

False. A whip and a bullet move through the air without making sounds other than the shock wave.

False. An aircraft creates a shock wave continuously as it is supersonic. This is heard as a sonic boom by an observer.
